I’m cooking grass fed beef liver full of vit a right now!!! I been having ibs for decades and it’s gone since starting carnivore diet.

[BeforeTheNoose]

I've just started a mostly carnivore keto diet thanks to you Dr Berry. I come from a farming area in the UK and one thing i noticed (which didn't make sense to me until watching you're stuff) is that there are loads of old farmers late 80's 90's around and their diet is basically butters, fats, meats, eggs, heavy creams. I guess it makes sense now, but back when i used to be eating my low cal granola i'd wonder how this old bloke made it to 90 as he's porking a gurt fryup lol.

The same is true for Alpha Linoeic acid in flax and chia seeds being poorly converted into Omega3 EPA/DHA. Best to get Omega3 from liver, egg yolks, cod liver oil, fatty fish, butter

Real vitamin A is retinol! Plants do not have retinol and our bodies poorly converts beta carotene into vit A. Vitamin A deficiency signs and symptoms: 1. Frequent infections 2. Dry skin scaly skin 3. Dandruff 4. Dry eyelid/dry eyes 5. Infertile 6. Stunted growth 7. Poor wound healing
There are research links below. There’s a video with info on high rich foods in vitamin A listed in show notes.

G'day! I study DYSHIDROSIS and the best treatment is a weight ratio'd intake of vitamin A. I get a lot of flak from people who claim it is bad for you. This video needs to be spread widely.

Early this year my eye doctor diagnosed me with MGD (meibomian gland disorder). She recommended that I eat more healthy fats and recommended eggs and flax. Given I am keto, I already eat a large amount of healthy fats and eggs are high in the list of stuff I eat all the time.

About a month earlier I had talked my GP into adding Vit D and B12 tests (for reasons I won't get into here) and my Vit D level had come in just below the normal range. My GP didn't think it was a problem and left things there.

So after my eye doctor appointment I was looking into the various options. flax seed oil was highly touted, but the Omega3 fats in that are ALA, and the body doesn't convert those very well, so I really didn't see its benefit over any other kind of fat. I decided to go with cod liver oil both for the healthy fats and the Vit D boost. (I live in Seattle, we can go months without seeing the sun.)

And within a month starting cod liver oil my eyes felt so much better. No stinging, no burning. A few months months ago I ran out of cod liver oil and was too lazy to reorder right away (was trying and failing to find it locally in stores). And I noticed my dry, itchy and burning eyes came right back.

Eventually got more cod liver oil and started to take it daily again. And my eyes went back to good, or at least much much better.

I wonder if its at least partially the Vit A in the cod liver oil. 1tsp contains a little over 100% of the daily recommended amount and in a form our bodies like and can make use.

I also noticed that my energy levels are noticeably higher when I take it compared to not taking it. Wonder if that's the vit-D.

Back during the second world war, my grandmother had a cow. So she would trade her family's rations of milk and butter with other families for their cod liver oil. Smart woman.

You are an awesome doctor❤️ thank you...

[tonycastani]

Thanks Dr Berry, I didn't know about the association with dry eyes and lack of retinol.

[bettyjohnson]

This is so helpful!! I have several of these problems!! Am carnivore, but been doing a stricter elimination diet to get rid of these remaining issues, and part of that has been trying to eliminate eggs, because as a child I was told I was allergic to eggs, but love them, and have enjoyed them all my life. Bought some higher quality eggs last week, and plan to try them. Done good eliminating cheese, but struggle with giving up coffee. This video helped a lot!! God bless you, Dr. Berry!! ❤🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏

[darleneanglin]

Thank you for posting the research sources !! I like to have the “ammo” to support the info I’m sharing with others ! Much appreciated !!

[williamli]

I like the few experts on low carb, as i got not only results, but also the insight. Doc Berry i respect, he is most personable and warm !
Will write more about his style...

[LizandSkatz]

Awesome information as always Dr Ken! I’m fed up with being lied to by my so-called doctor who insists that I eat high fibre and need to take statins because keto has raised my LDL etc! 🙄

[phaneserichthoneus]

Wow, all the symptoms of low vitamin A are also the symptoms of having too much vitamin A. I ate less vitamin A and my night vision improved, and I lost weight, and I had no allergies or runny nose whatsoever for the month I was on low vitamin A.

I also learned that coming off a low vitamin A diet with a pizza has caused me to have a horribly runny nose and sneezing. I feel like it's the cheese because I have the same reaction to ice cream now. I never noticed it until getting off vitamin A foods (no pork, no dairy, no eggs, no fish, no liver/organs (which I never ate anyway) no rainbow vegetables, no colorful fruit). Just eating mainly beef, beans, and rice, meat-heavy, I had no allergies of any kind. As soon as I eat pizza, I'm making snot like a fountain. It's happened five separate times. I would have never known it if I hadn't done this with food. Dairy with a sauce made from nightshades. Seems more like a toxicity reaction than an allergy.

I am watching your video and lo and behold the commercial that comes on after your video is Dr. Berg, Between you and him I should live as long as Methuselah or be broke and panhandling either way I should be healthy as a horse, enjoy watching your video

[maxibake]

Excellent advice. Thank you for sharing this important information with us all. Take care & stay safe everybody. ❤🙂🐶

[robinji]

It would be helpful Dr Ken Berry if you could update your video on vitamin A toxicity and beef liver in light of Jenny Chow's podcast on reducing consumption of liver, butter and eggs.
